SPEAKER_00 0:00

This episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome was recorded on May 13th, 2026.

SPEAKER_01 0:05

You ever have those nights where you're trying to do something to get the rest of the family to break, and they're just not into you that night? And you are trying and trying and trying, and they're just, I'm not paying attention to dad. Don't look at dad. Don't pay, just don't do anything because it's just gonna make it worse. Yeah. And then eventually I break. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:30

Dad, I wish you could just shut your big yupper!

SPEAKER_00 0:36

It's time for irritable dad syndrome. I thought I saw an eagle flying over the house, but it was just an eye floater. Anyway, here are your hosts, Mike and Darren.

SPEAKER_01 0:46

Hi, I'm Darren. I am Mike. Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome. This is Cincinnati's Comedy Podcast, and you are listening to episode 310.

SPEAKER_03 0:54

I'm happy that you're here. I'm happy that you're here. I'm going to be your podcast, buddy.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

We're going to be your uh uh pals. Yeah. Yeah. Hi.

SPEAKER_03 1:02

I'm going to tell a tale of Taco Bell and their dirty lemonade.

SPEAKER_01 1:05

I'm going to recommend four movies that you have to see, and I'm going to tell you right now, one of them is amazing, and one of them is absolutely horrible, and you still have to see it.

SPEAKER_03 1:17

So, part of the reason I'm so forclamped right now. Last night I was hungry. Uh-huh. I was uh famished. I wanted food, but I didn't. Feeling peckish. A little peckish, and I didn't want to cook. And I said out loud to the family, who wants Taco Bell? Of course, Charlie was number one. Yes. He put his order in. He didn't want food. He said, get me, quote, dirty lemonade. Uh-huh.

unknown 1:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:44

And I said, they don't, what is that? And he just grinned and I was like, I'm not, dude, you're going to get me. Somebody's going to shoot me. I can't go into Taco Bell and ask for dirty lemonade. Is that an actual thing? Yes, it's on their menu. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

So, Mike, what is dirty lemonade?

SPEAKER_03 2:01

Hold. So my jam.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

Sorry. I jumped in where I sit in it.

SPEAKER_03 2:07

Let's put that on the back burner for a moment. Okay. Okay. Now, my normal jam is I get the Nachos Bel Grande because I like it.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

I like it too.

SPEAKER_03 2:14

And I get chili cheese burritos, not because they're the best, but because they're the most predictable. It's really hard to f up a chili cheese burrito. You get chili, you put cheese, you slap it on a tortilla. Uh-huh. You got a chili cheese burrito. Yeah. You can pack two or three of those things in you before you need Tums. All right. So I decided that I was getting myself three chili cheese burritos. Okay. Or two, I'm sorry. And Andrew three because he's a growing boy. And then I'll get the dirty lemonade. So I drive to the Taco Bell and I'm in the thing for the drive-thru and I look at the menu and I'm scanning the drink section for dirty lemonade. I don't see lemonade. I don't see dirty. I certainly don't see dirty lemonade. So when the guy came on, I ordered my nachos Bel Grande. Would you like hot sauce? Of course I want hot sauce. I'm an American. That's how I get it down and keep it down. And then I want five chili cheeseburger, five chili. Yes! Five chili breed. Are you judging me at a Taco Bell? My question is, what the hell? I'm already just barely hanging on right now.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

It's like, dude, don't you have respect for yourself?

SPEAKER_03 3:24

And then I said it, and I was like, do you guys have a thing called dirty lemonade? And there was a long pause, and he said, and I quote, This just happened yesterday. I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:38

And I don't know if this is what was happening. I mean, but it sounded like it sounded like he was.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

Do you sell weed in the back room?

SPEAKER_03 3:47

It sounded like my voice came over their speakers, and everybody stopped and looked at him, and somebody said, Do it, do it. He's like, Do it, yeah. Yeah, and they'll figure it out as I'm driving up.

SPEAKER_04 3:56

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 3:57

So I get up there and I'm my alarm bells are going off. He pops his head out, gets the money. He's a a jolly man.

SPEAKER_04 4:04

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 4:06

What are you trying to say? He looked like he ate a lot of Taco Bell.

SPEAKER_04 4:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 4:12

I trusted his opinion immediately. And I just said, like that.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

You never trust a skinny cook. That's right, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 4:21

And I was like, look, I mean, what is uh my 12-year-old ordered a dirty lemonade, and I said, they don't have dirty lemonade. What are you doing to me? And I was like, what is a dirty lemonade? And he said, uh, it's it's uh you we take a lemonade and we uh put creamer in it. Coffee creamer? Yeah. Creamer.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 4:41

Creamer in lemonade.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

Really? Yeah. Creamer.

SPEAKER_03 4:45

Creamer.

SPEAKER_01 4:45

Creamer.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Creamer.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

Not okay.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

Creamer.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Creamer.

SPEAKER_03 4:48

Creamer. Not milk.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Creamer.

SPEAKER_03 4:52

Creamer. How was it? Not whipped cream. Uh-huh. Charlie said it was perfect.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

Now, on Laverne and Shirley, Laverne used to drink uh milk and Pepsi. She used to drink milk and Pepsi combined. And as a kid, I'm like, why is she always drinking milk and Pepsi? I tried it, and it's pretty good. Milk and Pepsi, yes. Have you ever had it?

SPEAKER_03 5:12

I just did it.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

I just really have you ever had a Coke float or a root beer float? I've had both of those. You have the root beer and then you put the ice cream in it. Yeah. And it's a root beer float. Yeah. Coke float. That's ice cream. Pepsi, it tastes kind of like a Pepsi float, right? It's it's not bad. Yeah. Yeah. So I imagine the dirty soda or the dirty lemonade.

SPEAKER_03 5:34

But why do they call it dirty? Because Mountain Dew has their I got the dirty Mountain Dew up there, and I was like, what the hell is it? And it's it's Mountain Dew with cream soda.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Yeah. Why is that dirty? I don't know. But by the way, just for the record, the balls on Mountain Dew. You know what they've done? I saw that. American Dew. Come on. The balls on Mountain Dew, they have packaged Mountain Dew on the bottle. It says American Dew. I'm like, wow, who farted? Who gave you?

SPEAKER_03 6:04

It's like us calling this irritable American syndrome.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

American Dad syndrome. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like, did Americola. Dr. America. Americano whoop ass. Americana pepper. I mean, it's like, how did they get away with that? American Dew. Now, granted. Can you do that? Apparently you can. They did. You could buy a bottle of Mountain Dew that says American Dew. And I'm in the middle of Kroger, the balls on these people. Excuse me, sir. What was that? Uh uh Yeah, I want my milk in a bag. Thank you. Yeah.

Reds Game That Broke Us

SPEAKER_01 6:46

No! Do you like baseball, Mike? No. Okay. I got invited to be a big bigger. I mean, it's okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:53

It's not my favorite sport.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

I'll see it. I got invited to a free baseball game. The Cincinnati Reds were playing the Houston Astros. Yeah. Going with my buddy Ted. Ted's the lead singer and guitar player for my band. We threw axes as well as it's like. Love Crunch. Yeah. Yeah. Love Crunch. Yeah, Ted's a good guy. He's a good friend of mine. He's from Norway. He's from North Carolina. He calls. He uh says, uh, I'll see y'all later. Okay. Anywho, we go to this Reds game. We got really good seats. I mean, they're higher up, but they're good seats where they were. And it looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't. And it was uh a little chilly, just you know, light jacket type of weather. Yeah. And uh it was me and Tad and his buddy Tim. Well, now my buddy Tim. And so the three of us are having a good old time watching the Cincinnati Reds play the Houston Astros.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Man, I'm glad I didn't pay for these tickets.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

I've heard that the Reds blow these days.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

Holy mother of God. Uh it almost said round one. Inning one, no score. Inning two, no score. And that's what people say. Well, that's really good pitching. You know, they're not allowing the other team to make it onto the uh onto the base. To make it to the plate. They're not allowing any runs. Uh so that's uh good pitching.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Not allowing any joy to enter the game.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Right. So uh inning three, uh, the Houston Astros, they got somebody onto uh the first base, and then the one of the other guys, whoever, uh, scores a home run. So that's what's called an RBI.

SPEAKER_03 8:27

That was uh run base initiative.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Run batted in.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

Uh so now they're ahead two to nothing. Okay, so we're like, well, okay, we can catch up. We sh that's nothing. Surely we can score. We can score two runs when we get at bat, right? No, no, no, we can't. Fourth inning, no scores, fifth inning, no scores. Sixth inning, the ding dang Houston Asters. I know, right? I'm I'm I'm sorry for being a little blue tonight. They did the same ding dang thing. They had somebody on first base, another home run. Yeah. So they get two more points. Now they're leading us four nothing.

SPEAKER_03 9:06

But we got that, we got that cracker jack, that guy, the uh Joey Voltron. Joe Joey Votto. But yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

I think he retired.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

Did he?

SPEAKER_01 9:14

I think.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

I know I know uh what's he doesn't play for the Reds anymore. Johnny Bench.

SPEAKER_03 9:20

Mark Chesney.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

No, no, no. He does not play. Ronnie Coltrane. Pete Rose is dead. Uh Pokey Reese, no longer with the Cincinnati Reds. So uh they eventually get to like uh the sixth inning, and then they scored another point. So now they're ahead five to nothing. And we're like, let's go get some hot dogs. Okay, so we go and Ted finds the place where you can buy all you can eat hot dogs, which is not true. For 25 bucks, you can get five hot dogs, which ain't a bad deal. Yeah, and Ted bought five hot dogs. I'm like, are you gonna eat all those? Yeah, hell yeah, I'm gonna eat them. And then I'm thinking, God, I wish I was eating five hot dogs. Eating five hot dogs would have been fantastic compared to watching the game we were watching. It was just it wasn't even a game, it was like batting practice for one team, uh, except they weren't batting, they weren't hitting anything. So we decided to leave at uh in the eighth, right? Yeah, and I had joked and I said, Wouldn't it be funny if while we were going to the car, yeah, if the Reds tied this up and won it, uh while we were going to the car. Yeah. And so that would entail five more runs being made from the time we left the seat to we got to our car, which is about 10 minutes. We get to the car and we leave the stadium. Yeah, by the time we got to the interstate, the Houston Astros had scored five more runs. Wow. Final score, Houston Astros 10, Cincinnati Reds, nothing.

SPEAKER_03 10:56

Yeah. Lord. Wow.

Little League Chaos And Sports Confusion

SPEAKER_03 10:58

Okay. Uh so I have some things to say about baseball. Charlie's playing baseball these days. Uh, that's his new thing. And I have learned that I don't understand baseball at all.

SPEAKER_04 11:11

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 11:11

At all. Re over the years, I've become reasonably competent with football and basketball. I get those. Yeah. And I I can I even know the difference between walking and traveling in basketball. In basketball? Okay. Yeah, yeah. And I know some specific. I know what traveling is. Yeah, I know what's going on.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

That's if you more than two steps and you haven't dribbled, that's traveling.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

All those fun things. I I get those. When it comes to baseball, we were watching a game. They put a time limit on kids' baseball games.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Thank God.

SPEAKER_03 11:40

The first inning lasted a half hour. One inning. And the other team against Charlie was just run, run, uh huh, run, uh huh. Run. Yeah. Run. Yeah. Base, base, bass, run, run. I'm like, should we just call this now? The first at bat. I mean, it's it's not gonna. And then it was like inning that was inning one, then inning two, inning three, inning four, inning five. Nobody could hit or do anything. Yeah. They were all getting out.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 12:12

And it got up to within like 20 minutes of the time limit. I packed up my chair. Yeah. I'm like, we're done here, right? Yeah. Which it's just uh, I mean, come on, guys. And then Charlie's team was up at bat, and then it was like, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run. It kept going and going. They kept getting more and more runs. And finally, the umpire was like, All right, we're done. What was we're good? I don't know. Charlie said it was 39 to 1. Charlie said it was like 13. He said they got 13 runs in the last inning, and they just ended it, and Charlie's team won.

unknown 12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

I'm like, what is I don't even get this. Like, you guys were getting slaughtered in the first inning. Nothing happened for the next hour and a half. And then all of a sudden, everybody on your team is hitting like the best hits anyone's ever seen. Yeah. And you guys are getting runs left and right. His friend Oscar was climbing on the fence. Get off the fence, Oscar! Get down. I mean, it was pandemonium and chaos. And I don't know what happened.

SPEAKER_01 13:17

But I mean, at least at the that's a an element, he's in elementary school, right? Uh, sixth grade, yeah. Elementary school. Sixth grade. At least with the Reds, you know, there's like there's the KISS Cam. And then they Yeah, they don't have that at the Little League games. No, they don't, thank God. No. No, but so there's the KISS Cam, and then there's the they get people uh who are milling around to play who's gonna win this uh competition.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

So you got a boombox with an equalizer.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

So you got Rosie Red and uh Gapper and uh Mr. Red, Mr. Pringle. Yeah, Mr. Pringle, and they're all in their little cars, and who's gonna go to the finish line? Everyone's rooting for their favorite mascot or whatever, but then they do baseball trivia and they're like, who where were the four players, the first four to ever do this? Who gives a shit? Right, and I'm just sitting there like uh okay, um uh Jose Conseco, uh Pokey Reese, Johnny Bench. Well see, they do those things. And I'm Babe Ruth and Tim's like, you're just rattling off. I'm like, yeah, yeah. I I didn't guess any of them.

SPEAKER_03 14:21

They do those things because 99% of the game of baseball is everybody just standing around looking at each other.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Yeah. I don't understand the first guy. So Libby and I moved up here in October of '99. So it was like sometime in 2000, I told Libby, I said, let's be Cincinnatians. Okay. Let's do what Cincinnatians do and let's go to a Cincinnati Reds game. Yeah. And so she's like, Why do you want to do that? I said, because we're from we live in Cincinnati now. We we've got a week Skyline and I didn't enjoy Skyline. I did not enjoy Skyline. I said, but let's be Cincinnatians, let's go to a game and see what this it's all about. And she's like, Can I bring a book? I'm like, no, you can't bring a book. We're gonna be blacklisted and never allowed at the stadium again. And she said, so like, okay, that argument didn't work. All right, but I said, let's give this a shot. So we're watching the Cincinnati Reds play the St. Louis Cardinals, and this is when Mark Maguire was a big thing. Do you remember Mark Maguire? Yeah, Mark Maguire, he hit a home run during that game. So we got to see McGuire hit a home run. I don't even remember what the score was, but it was a beautiful, like 75 degrees, and just a few clouds in the sky and a nice breeze, and it was just like the perfect day to go to a ball game. Libby and I fell asleep in the third inning. We woke up in the sixth inning. The score hadn't changed. You talk about what happened? Where are we? What's going on?

SPEAKER_03 15:56

I I tell you, I love I love watching Charlie and Andrew play in their games. I'm sad that Andrew, you know, is graduating now, so he's done with you know the that piece of it. But Charlie plays everything, and we love going to see him do this stuff. But it's like it's having watched him for a couple of years in basketball and football, we're used to a certain level of of stuff happening in the game. I don't want to call anybody out. But there were kids in the outfield just having straight full conversations with their parents on the sidelines, like, yeah, and then we're gonna go to right.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

We're going to Walmart after this. Are we gonna get to get the thing with the stuff? Okay, honey, look up there, they're hitting. Oh, they're not going to down here.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

Anyway, we're gonna you know, it's like I'm gonna embarrass my oldest son. He's heard me tell this story so many times, and he did it. So, but Jacob, I apologize, but here is the dad embarrasses you moment of the podcast. When he was younger and he was playing soccer, he could not stay interested in soccer, and he was like either playing with the grass or playing with the uh uh whatever's on the net when he was uh goalie. There was one time where he was on the sidelines. The coach had taken him out and and put in some other kids because you rotate the kids on and off the field. So there's this one dad next to me going, Come on, Kevin, get in there, get in a swoop, go around, come on, you got it, buddy. Get it, go come on, and he's coaching him from the side of the field. And I am yelling, Jacob, get the water bottle out of your mouth. He had a water bottle in it that had one of those uh things that pop out that you squeeze and it squirts into your mouth. Yeah, and he's chewing on that, and he's bent over, leaning side to side, swaying, waving his water bottle around. Water bottle. And I'm like, stop chewing on your water bottle. And I eventually walked. You're not the parents aren't supposed to walk across the field, but I did. I walked across the field and I said, buddy, stop chewing on your water bottle. Watch the game, and you could learn more about it. Yeah, yeah, that was his last year playing soccer.

SPEAKER_04 18:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:10

Poor kid, so bored with it that it's like, I'm just gonna make my own fun eating my water bottle. Yeah, and say the last game I love you, Jake.

SPEAKER_03 18:20

I will say another thing. The last game they let Charlie pitch, and because he's not normally the pitcher, and he has all the moves down, like the the the I'm gonna look in there, and you know how the pitcher like looks in to where the catcher is, and they're like saying what their thing, right? And then back like this, and then this is great for an audio podcast, yes, and the leg hikes up, you know what I'm talking about, and then the thing, and then throws and the ball goes and throws not like me, no, you know, because I can't throw a baseball, no, and it like zips in there and like whoa, I was like, and I was like, How do you know that? How did you do that? Yeah, so I I'm just I'm I'm consistently impressed, but I I just we've asked him a couple times, do you like this buddy? And he he has told me that of the three sports that he's played, it's his least favorite. And I I think it's it's gotta be the just a lack of activity. Yeah, when he's doing something in it, it's fun, but like I said, most of it is standing around and scratching yourself and looking at each other.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

I enjoy that. Yeah. No, here's a fun fact about me. I have never actually hit a baseball. Never once. When I worked for Win Dixie, we had a company picnic and we were playing uh softball, right? And apparently the softball is easier to hit, they say, because it's it's bigger than a baseball. I I couldn't hit it. Yeah, never, never, never could hit it. Never once. So I don't know how it feels to run and uh slide into home plate. Yeah, I don't care.

Kroger Layout Madness

SPEAKER_00 19:51

It's time now for the Kroger story of the week.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

I went to a different Kroger. Which Kroger did you go to? There's the one on the Michael A. Fox Highway. Okay. Okay. So I was at Costco, yeah, and then you know, so when you go to Costco, you can buy like 400. Exactly. 400 eggs or 22 gallons of coffee creamer.

SPEAKER_03 20:14

Yeah, for your dirty lemonade.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

For your dirty lemonade. And so it's like I bought what I needed to get at Costco, and then it's like, so seriously, if you're gonna buy eggs at Costco, you can only buy like five dozen eggs at a time. I don't need five dozen eggs. Yeah, I'm not gonna eat all five dozen eggs. Okay, I can do the two loaves of bread, I can put one in the freezer. I I go to Costco and then I go to Kroger to get the little things that I need. And I didn't want to go all the way to my regular Kroger, so I went to one that's on the way. That's why I went to a different Kroger. Okay. Now, this Kroger has not in a different place, they've got so many things in the wrong place. Yeah, okay. And this is nuts. I'm looking for tortillas, okay? Because I was gonna make breakfast tortillas. Tortillas, right? Tortillas at my normal regular uh hometown grocery store where I go two, sometimes three times a week. Yeah, those are on the aisle with the other Mexican foods, the salsa, the green chilies, the refried beans, the taco seasoning. Why am I talking like this?

SPEAKER_03 21:20

Very enunciatory.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

Yes, yes. So that's where the tortillas are supposed to be. At this Kroger, no, they're three aisles over on their own little mini aisle, which is stupid. Okay. I'm looking for eggs because I want one dozen eggs, not five dozen eggs. Yeah. At my normal regular hometown Kroger, they're right down from where you get the milk. Yeah. At this Kroger, they're in an aisle in the middle of the store that doesn't even it doesn't even run the same direction. It goes north-south while the milk aisle goes east and west. Stupid. Okay. And then I was looking for something else that wasn't where it was supposed to be. I'm like, what is wrong with you people? Yeah. I got mad. Did I leave? No, I paid for my stuff. Yeah. And then Lady said, did you find everything okay? Yeah, I did, I did. I should have complained to her because then nothing would have been done about it.

SPEAKER_03 22:19

We have almost always have the same experiences. I too went to a different Kroger within the past week. Shut up.

SPEAKER_01 22:25

It's like we have the same brain.

SPEAKER_03 22:27

I went to the one, it's over somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 22:30

I've been there.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

Yeah. I think it's the Liberty Township one. It's a new one. They like re just like demolished a Kroger and built a new one.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_03 22:38

It's like, why did you do that? It was a perfectly good Kroger.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Is it like green on the outside?

SPEAKER_03 22:42

I think.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

It looks like space agey. Yeah. It doesn't look like it should be a Kroger. It looks like it should be a bank where you keep seeds. I thought I was in a garden equipment area. Like, is this Kroger like the food place? Or do you can I get a lawnmower in here? Right. But I went in and you're right. They had everything in the wrong place. But what I did like about them, I went to the produce section. They had grapes that were not rotten.

SPEAKER_01 23:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 23:10

They had onions that with very little to no mold, and they had let's I didn't see more than two or three fruit flies in the entire place. And whereas our normal Kroger, I'm used to seeing like mosquito netting and all the fruit flies flying everywhere, like little colonies of them. Uh-huh. And they're the fat, pissy fruit flies with attitudes of put a saddle on it. They like bump into you, they don't ride it downtown. Yeah. And so I actually I didn't need any onions, but I wanted to buy some because they had non-moldy onions, and I haven't seen that in months.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

This has been the Kroger Story of the Week.

Walmart Eyes And Rice Cooker Pride

SPEAKER_03 23:53

Along with that trip, I did buy a few things there, but then I had to go to Walmart. I had an eye appointment. Oh. And that's where I get my eye uh visioning done.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

Oh my god, at Walmart.

SPEAKER_03 24:06

Yeah, and I I told you that we I've told the story before where I learned that uh telling the truth to your eye doctor is beneficial for your sight.

SPEAKER_04 24:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 24:14

And so I did that again and did very well in getting contacts. I'm wearing them now and I can see everything in this room.

SPEAKER_04 24:19

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 24:20

Um, but then I thought, you know what? I'm at Walmart, which is where I normally am when I buy weird, and I decided I want a rice cooker. Why? Because we eat a lot of rice. Uh-huh. I make a lot of dishes that require rice. Okay. And I was thinking about this in Kroger. I'm standing, or I'm sorry, Walmart. I'm standing there thinking, the amount of time that I spend focused on rice at home. Uh-huh. When I could just pour rice into a thing, pour water into a thing, push a button, and let it do its thing.

SPEAKER_01 24:55

I said your kids are outside playing daddy when you come outside and it's like, no, I'm focused on the rice.

SPEAKER_03 25:00

Focused on the rice. And rice cookers keep the rice warm and moist. Oh, okay. Which are two things you want your rice to be.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

Yes. You don't want it to dry out.

SPEAKER_03 25:11

Yeah, so I bought a I bought a rice cooker. And how are you enjoying that? I liked it. I liked it. I got it home. Uh I I went uh stopped back by the Krogers on the way back. Uh I got some chicken, I got some stir-fry sauce, I got some veggies. Okay. And then I thought, I don't need rice. I have tons of rice at home. Yeah. Got home all excited to make the rice in my rice cooker. Got everything set up, washed it. Right? You don't want to get whatever they have in the rice cooker factory in your rice. Got it ready to go. It said pour the rice in. I opened the thing and there's no rice. Oh. So I had to go back to Kroger.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

That's a pisser.

SPEAKER_03 25:51

And bought more rice. It took by the by the end of the thing, it took me way more time to get the rice cooker set up and get the rice for it and make the rice than it would have if I would have just made the rice from the beginning. But it was only that way on that day. Let me ask you. Since then, excuse me.

SPEAKER_01 26:07

I yesterday stopping point.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

Yesterday, I decided on a whim, a whim, that I wanted rice. And I indeed did the thing that I had been dreaming of doing. I thought I have to go to the bathroom and some other things. I will pour the rice and the water in this thing. Uh-huh. By the time I'm finished with all my activities, I'll come back and the rice will be ready to consume. And twir.

SPEAKER_01 26:40

It twir.

SPEAKER_03 26:41

So in that moment, the rice cooker paid for itself.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 26:46

Continue.

SPEAKER_01 26:48

Can I ask a question now? Finn. Yes. Do you feel better than most people now that you have a rice cooker? I do.

SPEAKER_03 26:56

We had to take the we had a pressure cooker. Is that what it's called?

SPEAKER_01 27:00

A pressure cookie. Oh no, I pressure cooker.

SPEAKER_03 27:04

Yes. I took that out into the garage because Bess told me, and if I can get exactly what she said, I want to make sure I nail it. She said, so help me, God. If you bring another cooking appliance into this house, I don't know what I'm going to do. But it's not going to be pleasant.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

I can just two of you at marriage counseling. He brought in a damn deep fryer.

SPEAKER_03 27:31

No, no, yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

And so not only got the deep fryer, the air fryer.

SPEAKER_03 27:36

Not only did I replace toaster the pressure cooker with the rice cooker, but the rice cooker is smaller than the pressure cooker. And I do look down on other people now. Yeah. I bet there's people out there that want to eat rice, but they can't because they don't have a rice cooker.

SPEAKER_01 27:51

I remember I was at somebody's house once.

SPEAKER_03 27:53

I have one.

SPEAKER_01 27:54

I was spending the night over there, and uh I was looking for a glass, and I opened up one of the cabinets, and they had the toaster up in the cabinet. I'm like, what are you? It's like, what are you trying to hide? Psychopathic subject. Do you want people knowing that you eat toast? Is this against your religion and you're just doing it anyway? Yeah. What's wrong? What are you hiding? What else are you hiding?

SPEAKER_01 30:23

Uh-huh. Somebody sent you a picture of Elizabeth Montgomery.

SPEAKER_03 30:27

As I was in this meeting, Jim Boyce was doing some work on uh Mondays. Right? It's a it's a like a bar grill thing uh in the Morgantowns. And he ripped apart part of the wall and pulled out some nudie mags that had been stationed there. And he sent as proof to the text group, to me and Bess and her sister Laura about five to six sets of Okay. Right? I'm at work.

SPEAKER_01 30:56

What I found.

SPEAKER_03 30:57

I'm at work. My arm is out on the table. I'm in a meeting with other people. I casually look down because my watch buzzed. And I saw five sets of staring at me. Yeah. Right out in the open. Uh-huh. How do you do? Hello. What up?

SPEAKER_00 31:18

Hello.

SPEAKER_03 31:19

I was in mixed company. I was with people who would not appreciate that being seen at a work setting on my wrist.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03 31:35

And there twas. And I very quickly pulled my arm back.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

But he said it to Bess and Lori. Yeah, to all of us.

SPEAKER_01 31:54

How long had they been in there?

SPEAKER_03 31:56

I don't know. They were in the wall. They were like spackled in there. So they could have been there for they look like from the state of some of the women's grooming techniques. I would say they've been in there.

SPEAKER_04 32:10

Oh God, since the 70s.

SPEAKER_03 32:26

But I'd like to put a plea out the Samsung. I mean, I love the preview.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

That's why technology technology is going farther than it needs to go.

SPEAKER_03 32:37

I know AI is a thing. Can you make a little slider in there to where I can I can make an option if someone sends me I can not have those pop up? No, can you turn off immediately?

SPEAKER_01 32:47

Can you turn the option off of receiving photos? Period.

SPEAKER_03 32:50

What it does is it buzzes, and then I do this. You see how the face comes up.

SPEAKER_01 32:54

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 32:54

And it pops up and says, from Jim Boyce. And then why would Jim Boyce say, oh, I'm in burger. Yeah, randomly Jim will send me stuff. Uh-huh. That's the first time he's ever sent me that.

SPEAKER_04 33:09

Oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:10

SPEAKER_04 33:12

Oh. What'd they say it were?

SPEAKER_03 33:19

Nobody saw it.

SPEAKER_04 33:20

Oh, thank God.

SPEAKER_03 33:22

And I know nobody saw it because there wasn't a sudden what's on your arm.

SPEAKER_01 33:27

You know, Mike, you really shouldn't have told me that your phone does that. Am I going to get tomorrow? I'm going to send you a picture of a turtle a basketball. I told you when I did to Chris Michael's lunchbox, his mailbox. You should not have told me that your phone does that.

SPEAKER_03 33:51

SPEAKER_04 34:09

SPEAKER_03 34:11

No turtles in there. No, no turtles, no basketballs. Yeah, no. No. Yeah, it was in the uh it was in the outer outer wall there.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 34:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:21

I was listening to the Bob and Tom show one morning. And they were telling the story. There was a woman, and uh, she had uh handyman uh at the house repairing some things, and while he was there, she said, There is this rattling in the ceiling. And he says, Oh, okay. So he takes his ladder over to the ceiling, and the husband is like, It's it's probably nothing. It's it's it's I'm sure it's nothing. He uh moves the vent and looks in the ceiling, and there was her husband's collection of things. And he could see the look on the husband's face. Like, please, dear God, don't use his uh I don't know what's causing this. He closed it back up. Can't I have no idea, man? No, yeah, it's a it's a he paid him a salary. It's a mystery.

Four Movies Worth Arguing About

SPEAKER_01 35:27

I mentioned at the top of the show that I've seen four movies recently that are worth watching. One of them was amazing, one of them was horrible, and the truth is you still need to watch all four of them. So a week or so ago, we finally got around to watching Marty Supreme with Timothy Chalamet. Chalamet. Timothy Chalomet, Timothy Chalomet. This movie really, really jacked up my anxiety. Okay. Okay, it's a very stressful movie. Timothy Chalamet acts his face off in it. Chalamet Chalamet. Timothy Chalamet is really good in it, and I understand why it was nominated for best actor, why it was nominated for best picture. Was it the best movie ever? No, it was hard to watch. And I was doing some uh of my own research after seeing the movie, and a lot of it they took some liberties with the fiction part of the of the story because his family were like, Yeah, he didn't do that, he didn't do that, he didn't have an affair with this person, not that we've ever heard or anything. So if you watch the movie, don't watch it thinking that it's based entirely on a true story because they took a lot of creative liberties with it. That being said, it was good. Okay, so there was uh Marty Supreme. I've mentioned it over the past two or three weeks that we have been on a Liam Neeson kick. Okay, we uh this is uh I can't remember how many Liam Neeson movies we've watched, but we watched one called Nonstop, okay, where Liam Neeson is on a plane and he is the uh the plane security. No, no, he's not the pilot, he's the plane security. Air Marshal. Air Marshal. Air Marshal, thank you. And uh somebody sends him a text saying that that uh someone's gonna die every 20 minutes unless they get a couple million dollars, right? And so Liam Neeson is trying to figure out who the killer is on this flight uh without everybody going into an absolute panic. And we're digging this movie. Yeah, we have no clue who it is. We keep thinking it's her. It's gotta be her. No, it can't be her. It might be her. Is it her? I still think it might be her, but it wasn't. Or was it? Was it that guy? Was it this guy? It left us guessing. And Liam Neeson was really good in it because here lately, every movie Liam Neeson makes is the same movie. Yeah, yeah. It's just that he's either driving a bus or he's uh uh a truck driver or he's a pilot or he's a marshal or he's a former cop or he's uh uh uh circus clown, whatever. So nonstop is really good. We watched another Liam Neeson movie that's called Ice Road Vengeance, and this movie is hysterical in how unbelievably impossible. There's no way any of the stuff in the movie is going to happen, and it's a horrible movie. It is so bad, but we are laughing our faces off because they're so his brother dies, and his brother's final wish was to take his ashes and spread them on um what's the highest mountain in the whole world?

SPEAKER_03 38:42

Uh Everest.

SPEAKER_01 38:44

Everest, Mount Everest. Could you have given me an easier task to do? So he's taking his brother's ashes and he's gonna spread them at Mount Everest, and he's riding this bus that's taking them on this tour, and that's supposed to take them to where I guess the base camp is or something. And the bus gets taken over by uh uh terrorists. Of course it does. There's there's somebody, there's this man who's wanting to buy all this land to uh open up uh uh a gift shop, a dam or something for hydroelectric power, and the family who owns the land, they don't want them buying the land. So this bad guy is killing off all the people who own the land, then he's gonna swoop in and take it and make all the money for himself. Well, the people who he's wanting to kill happen to be on the same bus as Liam Neeson. So he's trying to kill the people on this bus, and Liam Neeson's like, Well, I can't help them, they can't be doing this type of thing, and so we're gonna help these people out, and I'm Liam Neeson. You know, oh my god, they attack the the bus, and the bus crashes, and the axle falls off the bus. Okay, okay, so at the place where the bus has crashed, it's flipped over on its side. Okay, Liam Neeson looks over the edge of this of this hill, this big, big steep hill, and he finds and he looks, he says, Does anybody have binoculars? I need some binoculars. He uses binoculars and looks. There is a bus at the bottom of the hill, and he recognizes that axle on that bus. We can take the axle off of that one and put it onto this one, and then we can get the bus back on all four wheels and we can drive off to safety. You have your hand up, Mike. What's your question?

SPEAKER_03 40:32

Is this a real movie? This is a real movie.

SPEAKER_01 40:35

Ice Road. Are they doing a parody of something? No, it's supposed to be taken as a like a serious action movie. It's not directed by the Everest. He's on a road near, they're in a uh I'm sorry, it's I think I'm going to Kat Mandu. They're around that part.

SPEAKER_03 40:54

They're in a road on Kat Mandu around in the vicinity of Everest. In the greater Everest metro area.

SPEAKER_01 41:01

Yes, metropolitan area.

SPEAKER_03 41:03

And they crash their bus. Yes. And the axle flies off down the mountain. The axle broke. Broke.

SPEAKER_01 41:10

In a yak.

SPEAKER_03 41:13

And they're they're out there taking a smoke break or whatever. They recognize it in the greater Kathmandu metropolitan area. Yes. And then they just happen to see another bus.

SPEAKER_01 41:25

Yeah. And they're like, we can take the same axle. We can take the axle off of that bus and put it on this bus.

SPEAKER_03 41:33

And then because he Like it's a Lego car. Right.

SPEAKER_01 41:36

Well, like I just that I'll take that piece off and I'll put it on the. I left an important part of the story out. He he knows how to weld. He mentions that earlier. I I used to weld in a former life. So he knows how to weld. So they and this hill is so steep a drop, they had to tie themselves with with uh uh climbing equipment and lower themselves down. I got another question. Yeah, okay. That's another question.

SPEAKER_03 42:03

He knows how to weld yes. Welding takes welding equipment. That's true. Did he have welding equipment with him? They did. Why?

SPEAKER_01 42:12

Who the f were they gonna weld on Mount Everest? No. But they were they had it, they had the equipment to do it. So and they lowered themselves down with camping, uh not camping, with climbing gear, because he's also a climber. Well, yeah, of course he is. They dropped themselves down, they got the axle off the one bus, and then they raised themselves back up this very, very, very steep incline.

SPEAKER_03 42:36

This steep made a motion like they're using a rope.

SPEAKER_01 42:39

Yeah, they they had to they had to be pulled back up with the rope, with the axle from another truck to put onto this bus. Right? And not much. They have tools with them. They had they don't know. I don't care if you can weld, you did a wrench or something to get the axle off of that thing. They had the stuff to do it. So they they put the axle, and spoiler alert, they put the axle for one bus onto this bus, yeah, and you're forgetting that the bad guys are chasing them still. Oh so I'm like, this is gonna take for me, it would take the greater part of two to three weeks to get this axle. But no, they get it on just in the nick of time before the bad guys come.

SPEAKER_04 43:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:23

And then so they're driving and driving, driving, and the bus has to get another spoiler alert, nobody tells them the direction they're going. They eventually come to a uh a ravine and they have to pull the bus they're on onto this uh giant metal pallet or whatever, and then lifted by crane. You're this is not this is not I am not you. A crane crane just going to lift the bus. No, it's there because that's how people cross the ravine by crane. They pull their bus.

SPEAKER_03 43:56

They said, We're not gonna build a bridge here, it's a lot easier if we just To have a crane and Joe the crane operator.

SPEAKER_01 44:03

Now you're being stupid, Mike. This is this is temporary. Okay. It's temporary. Okay. Okay. All right. So they get temporary crane. Temporary until they get the bridge built.

SPEAKER_03 44:15

Single-use crane. Just disposable crane.

SPEAKER_01 44:19

So they at one point they did say uh in order for us to you know properly go across this ravine, you don't want to do it willy-nilly with the crane. We need to, you know, remove as much weight off of this bus as we can. Get rid of that axle. But but they didn't show them getting rid of any of the stuff. Right? But they did mention it. Okay. So the bad guys catch up with them. They shoot. Everybody gets shot a couple of times. I mean, everybody gets shot. I know, but it's it's so bad. But they had gotten across, and then the bad guys are on the crane now. They're waiting to get across. And eventually they're the bad guys get onto the bus with the new crane that had with the new axle that had gone over the ravine on a crane. And now the terrorists are fighting and they're fighting and fighting. And next thing you know, all the seats are missing out of the bus. What? I said, did anybody notice that the seats just disappeared? Yeah. And Livy is crying laughing. I'm crying laughing. Mom is just having the time of her life. We're watching this. This movie is horrible, but it's so horrible. Ice Road Vengeance, I can't recommend it hard enough. You've got to watch it. I should have saved that one for last. But the last movie we went to see, we went to the theater, and this is on Mother's Day. A few weeks ago, uh, we were went to a movie and there was a trailer that comes on for the sheep detectives. Okay. With I've seen this trailer. I keep wanting to call uh Jack Human. Yeah. I remember Tracy Morgan. Yeah, Tina Faye was talking about Tracy Morgan. He says, It's that movie that has Jack Human in it. Who? You know, Jack Human. Tracy, I have no idea who you're talking about. You know, Wolverine. You mean Hugh Jackman? Yeah. So Hugh Jackman is in this movie. He is a shepherd, and he has all these sheep, and he reads to them every night, and everybody loves the shepherd, and everybody loves the sheep, and everybody's happy. And the sheep all talk. Brian Cranston is one of the sheep. Julia Louise Dreyfus is one of the sheep. And uh we recognize some of the other sheep. Anywho, Hugh Jackman gets murdered. Oh. Okay. And Hugh Jackman would, when he was alive, obviously, would read uh books to the sheep every night, and the sheep would all gather around him. I loved hearing him read books to it. And so after Hugh Jackman got murdered, the sheep started investigating his death. And I'm thinking, this looks like the stupidest movie I've ever could ever possibly watch, even though I have already seen Ice Road Vengeance. This movie looks stupid. Mother's Day is coming along, trying to figure out what to do. And Libby thought, I think it looks cute. I think it looks like it's gonna really cute. Okay. So we all went to see the sheep detectives, and I told the boys, guys, we're taking mom to see the sheep detectives, and they're like, okay. Mom had no idea what the movie was about, but mom's up for anything. Anytime we want to go anywhere, she she'll go to a movie, doesn't matter what it is, what time it is, whatever. So we all go, and by God, we loved it. All five of us loved every single moment of the sheep detectives. We laughed out loud, we almost cried in a few places, so good, and we didn't know who the murderer was. We were on the edge of our seat the whole movie trying to figure out who killed Hugh Jeckman. I can't recommend this movie strong enough. So good. So those are the movies you should watch. You should watch Marty Supreme, Nonstop, Ice Road Vengeance, and the Sheep Detectives.

Emulsified Potatoes Weird Al Finale

SPEAKER_01 48:08

I learned a new word. I was making for Mother's Day. I made homemade meatloaf. I make a pretty good meatloaf. Okay. If I can brag, I make a really good meatloaf. Do you like meatloaf? I love meatloaf. I made meatloaf, and I was gonna make homemade mashed potatoes or taters, as we call them in Tennessee. So I've got the potatoes uh sliced, and uh well, you wash the potatoes and then you slice them, and then you got them in the bowl and you got them boiled. Now all I've got to do is add some milk, some uh mayonnaise, and some butter. Yes, yes, you put mayonnaise or sour cream and that makes them really creamy. So my blender, the boys had done the dishes and they put the whisks that belong to the blender in the dishwasher, and the dishwasher was gone and had another 25 minutes to go. So I'm like, well crap, what am I gonna do? How am I gonna make the mashed taters? And Libby said you can use the hand mixer. So we've got this hand mixer that uh does not like this thing. No, no, it does not look like a blender, it looks like a I don't know what it looks like. So I'm using this hand mixer, and by God, it made turn the potatoes into pudding. I mean, and Libby's like, oh, you use yeah, that um that emulsifies the potatoes. I'm like, uh, it does what? What is this science fiction? You're gonna watch a Tron, it emulsifies, it turns them almost into liquid. You could almost pour the mashed potatoes out of the bowl, but by God, they were yummy, they were tasty, and that that meatloaf was yummy too. So I learned that emulsify. Emulsify.

SPEAKER_03 49:45

I thought it was an NXS song.

unknown 49:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:48

Could have been. Totally could have been.

SPEAKER_00 49:55

Time now for the Weird Al Yankovic song segment of the week.

SPEAKER_04 49:59

Are we not men? We are dealable.

SPEAKER_01 50:03

This has been the Weird Al Yankovic song segment of the week. Weird Al Yankovic was on the Howard Stern show. Now, I am a big fan of Weird Al recently or back in the day. No, recently, yeah. I've been a fan of Weird Al for so long. And Howard Stern asked him if it bothers him that he's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And he says, it he says, I don't stay up at night thinking about it. He says, it does please me that many, many times people have put out uh petitions to get Weird Al into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He says, and I would rather have that than be in it, and he'll go, why did they put that guy in there? So I appreciate Weird Al. I've been like I said, I've been a fan of Weird Al forever, and I really admire that about him. But he said, if you were to be inducted, who do you think should induct you? And he said, Dr. De Menno. But now that makes sense. Yeah, I think that if he ever gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, okay. One, this is why I think Weird Al deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, because for decades now, so many bands have said that holy crap, I have made it because Weird Al has done a copy, a parody of my song. They're like, we have arrived. This is like as big as you can get. There's the Grammy, there's the number one song, and then there's having Weird Al do a parody of your song. So for that reason only, he should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Outside of that, he is a musical genius. I think his original songs are better than a lot of his uh his parody songs. But if he ever were to get inducted, I think Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo should be the person who inducted it. And Devo should be there and they should perform Dare to Be Stupid with Weird Owl. That's what do you think? Yeah, I can see that.

SPEAKER_03 51:56

Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I still think it would it should be uh Dr. Demento.

SPEAKER_01 52:01

Yeah, Dr. Demento should be there. Yeah, but Devo should perform Dare to Be Stupid with Weird Owl. Okay, yeah. All right. I think we about ran out of time.

SPEAKER_03 52:08

Yeah, we we're done. We're done. We're done.

SPEAKER_01 52:13
